"If The Writers Of House Of The Dragon Keep Gaslighting The Audience Into Thinking Viserys Was Anything

"If the writers of House of The Dragon keep gaslighting the audience into thinking Viserys was anything better than a powerful man who stole a young girls future, dreams and physical body in the quest for a son he will never love, I will riot"

Okay, I have one fundamental question for people who think that if it weren't for Viserys, Alicent would have a "future" - what kind? What kind of future would that be? If someone says "marriage and children of love <3" they're being ridiculous. I know the creators want to show that Alicent is THE victim, the truth is that you can count on the fingers of one hand the women in the world of ASOIAF who were not victims of an arranged marriage.

Alicent was the daughter of the second son, who despite being the Hand of the King (which he lost several times) had no lands or wealth, no army. Everything that belonged to the Hightower family didn't belong to Otto, but to his older brother, who was the Lord of Oldtown. If it weren't for Viserys, Otto would have married her off to some lesser lord... And that was it. There would be no wonderful "future", just the exact same life, but much less comfortable, because it would be hard to find a man who would allow Alicent so much disrespect and do whatever she wanted.

Aegon II dickriders want so badly for him to be this relentless badass rising from the ashes of defeat to seize victory and take revenge on his enemies, but in reality he was just a lazy spoiled man child who got his ass fried in his first battle (a 2v1 ambush with Vhagar on his side), spent like half a year high of pain killers, escaped and took Dragonstone solely because Larys Strong did all of the work and planning (and still managed to get crippled by a 13 year old girl riding a baby dragon), got super lucky with Rhaenyra just happening to stumble into his grasp thanks to no doing of his own, and then when he took back Kings Landing could not even hold the city for half a year before his own councilors poisoned him and replaced him with a depressed third grader, because as it turns out he actually has zero leadership skills and was never anything but a worthless puppet that the traitors who raised him up were all too glad to get rid of the moment it suited their needs.

It is beyond me what Green stans are doing in the “anti-hotd” tag when the entire shitshow is basically an extremely canon-deviated version which serves their delusions, as follows:

1. Alicent is such a poor, innocent, do-gooder peacemaker, and certainly did not abuse her step-daughter, nor seduced and married the King for power, nor plotted for years to usurp the throne.

2. Aegon is not a gluttonous, lazy pig. He is just misunderstood. He harasses women because his daddy doesn’t love him.

3. Aemond is not a psycho. No, definitely not. He does terrible things “accidentally” because he was “bullied” (that word justifies your every action throughout your adult life? Really?)

4. Helaena is not irrelevant. No, of course not. The canon lies. She was a dreamer. Wow…a dreamer…but still completely useless.

I thought this was a safe tag where people can actually discuss the problems with this show, not for people to rant their delusions on how the showrunners “hate” the Greens, when they’ve done nothing but sugarcoat everything they do.

Like, suddenly, the coup orchestrated by the Greens is not treason, and not a malicious act (according to Ryan Conman and Sara Less), even though GRRM rightfully portrays that it is. I can’t believe that there is even a debate on that.

Unfinished Piece Of Jon’s And Robb’s Goodbye Scene:’)

Unfinished piece of Jon’s and Robb’s goodbye scene:’)

They are actually my favorite dynamic and I hope to draw an actual finished piece one day …

He pulled Jon to him and embraced him fiercely. “Farewell, Snow”. Jon hugged him back. “And you Stark.”

Seriously I want to cry

calling an author "unprofessional" bc he hates how his precious work that he spent years on being butchered is beyond madness. the thoughts, the ideas, the hard work, the inspiration, the sleepless nights, the creativity, the emotions and feelings he has put into his work being thrown out the window not once but TWICE must be heart breaking to him. he knows he doesn't have much time left on this earth and he has the RIGHT to be upset and devastated at how his legacy is being dragged through the mud and "fixed" by a bunch of pretentious narcissists that think they could do a better job than him, bc if they're doing this while he is alive imagine what they would do when he isn't.

"Rhaenyra always dressed richly, favoring purple and maroon velvets and golden Myrish lace in intricate patterns. Her bodice often glittered with pearls and diamonds, and there were always rings on her fingers"

In some universe Dany, Brienne, Sansa, Arianne, Elia, Rhaenys and Arya are sharing confidences and spitting about gross men, I'm sure.
